Wed, 21 Feb 2018 20:55:55 GMTI am about to pick up my 2016 Misano Red S3 and coming from a Porsche Cayman and Miatas, I've been concerned about the front wheel drive bias and lack of oversteer potential. But then I came across this video and it seems like the S3 sure can drift. Is this just the lift-off variant and not power oversteer? What about you all? Have you all been bothered by the front bias? So can the S3 drift? Watch video from 1:59 to 2:37.

Finally taking the time to make a build thread since i got the car about 8 months ago.

2015 Audi S3 Prestige 8.3k miles

Backstory:
I used to be in the Bay Area Club Lexus group for about three to four years then decided to upgrade for something way quicker and more luxurious. I had a 2011 Lexus Is250 as my DD but lucky enough my girlfriend picked up her 2014 civic so that has been my daily since. Fast forward until now Feb 20, 2018 car has 12k miles. Yes i know i dont drive it much. More of a weekend car since i do construction.

The S3 is basically fully loaded when i bought it used at Stevens Creek Audi and negotiated the Audi Care service package and 20% window tint all around with the purchase.
Picture when bought :IMG_3931.JPGIMG_3933.JPG

Some bigger things are happening soon in a couple of months,
I have a set of Volk G25 19x8.5 +38 special ordered in the Dark Silver Prism color coming in around June. Special ordered so takes about three months to come from Japan. Going to wrap these bad boys with the Pilot Super Sports most likely. Most likely picking up the 034 Dynamic+ Springs (.75 inches) since its specifically made for S3ís and sit lower with Mag ride compared to Emmanuel Designs (.5 inches). I do want an aggressive flush look. For downpipes currently looking at APR/034/ CTS catted downpipe. I would like to hear your feedback quality wise if its worth paying 900+ for a downpipe.

This is where I would love to hear some feedback. Wanting to go straight to stage 2. I have been debating between APR tune and 034 tune for quiet a bit now since that are both fairly close to me. Both offer the crackle exhaust at stage 2. 034 is offering me a pretty sweet deal and its cheaper than APR. But i have not seen many reviews on 034 tunes compared to APR. Maybe if one of the companies contact me we can work something out! I am planning to be in Wekfest Bay Area this year hopefully if my wheels arrive on time. More to come!

I know overall the is38 is going to be faster but how do they compare at lower RPMs and slower around town driving? Torque comes in much earlier on the stage 2 dyno graph on APRs website. I never drive over 85mph and love all the torque down low from the is20. Would I miss that going is38?

Hope you enjoy the video and feel free to subscribe to my channel as I'm planning on many other DIYs for our wonderful S3 8V platform.

I read somewhere that the OEM ones from an S4(don't remember what year) I think work on the S3? Or correct me if I am wrong and does anyone have pics with the S Sport back seats?

Thu, 15 Feb 2018 05:24:35 GMTHello,

I have a 15' S3, but I picked up some 17' S3 wheels for the summer. Since the wheels are not the same and the 15' wheel lug bolts would not look good exposed, would you guys be able to give me some websites where I can find my specific lug bolts for my car? From Audizine search, I got this website: http://otisincla.com but I'm not sure which ones I need specificallty.

Any reccomendations?

Thanks!

I am approaching 2 years ownership on my S3 and looking to do brake service or brake flush. What do you guys recommend? Also I am thinking of changing out the lines & there are a few choices out there. Which SS lines do you recommend and why? Is this a job I can possibly attack in the driveway?

Tue, 13 Feb 2018 14:32:57 GMTI'm a little disappointed with my headlights in the S3. The LEDS look great color wise but wish it threw more light onto the road. Anyone have a fix to improve visibility or use other bulbs?
